|
1 I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.
|
|
2 Our feet are standing
Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,
|
|
3 Jerusalem, that art builded
As a city that is compact together;
|
|
4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah,
For an ordinance for Israel,
To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
|
|
5 For there are set thrones for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
|
|
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
They shall prosper that love thee.
|
|
7 Peace be within thy walls,
And prosperity within thy palaces.
|
|
8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes,
I will now say, Peace be within thee.
|
|
9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God
I will seek thy good. |
